TERMS & CONDITIONS

1: SECURING YOUR BOOKING AND PAYMENT TERMS

All bridal bookings are subject to a non refundable deposit payment of £100. Once the clients deposit payment is received and their booking is confirmed in writing by Jo Watts, the clients quoted price will remain the same.

If after a quote is made & the deposit is paid, the package is then dropped down to below the value of the minimum booking amount of bride + 3 bridal party on the day (not including the trial and deposit paid) then Jo Watts has the right to cancel the booking with no refund of the deposit. Alternatively Jo Watts will choose to fulfil the booking with a charge of 50% of the difference.

Following the booking confirmation, the client will be issued with an invoice. Invoice payment is payable no less than 7 days before the event, by bank transfer as detailed on the invoice. (Cheque payments are not accepted. Cash payments will be accepted if paid in full, no less than 14 days prior to the event date.)

2 : ADDITIONAL CHARGES

Jo Watts will quote travel and any extras upon booking and agreed with the client.
Jo Watts may also need to hire a second stylist/MUA to help with the clients booking, this fee will be quoted upon booking also.

3: CANCELLATION AND AMENDMENTS TO BOOKINGS

If the booking is cancelled within 90 days of the event date, the client will be charged 50% of the final invoice amount. If the booking is cancelled within 30 days of the event date, the client will be charged 100% of the final invoice.
If the client cancels their booking outside of the 90 days by confirming in writing to jowatts.mua@gmail.com. Jo Watts will retain the deposit and no further charges will be incurred.
If the client decides to push the wedding date back more then 6 months later the confirmed booking, then new prices may be quoted for the booking. If the client does not wish to reschedule with the new pricing, then the supplier will retain the deposit and no further charges will be incurred, unless its cancelled within the 90 days notice as stated above.
If within 90 days of the event date the original confirmed booking is amended causing the total invoice amount to be reduced, the client will be charged 50% of the difference on the final invoice.
If the client wishes to amend their booking to a reduced requirement outside of the 90 days, they must do so in writing to jowatts.mua@gmail.com to ensure additional charges aren’t incurred. Failure to do so may result in the booking being cancelled and the deposit being retained by Jo Watts.
Please be advised that failure to issue payment for outstanding invoices will result in Jo Watts not being able to carry out our services on the date of the event and may also result in taking the client to the small claims court

4 : UNFORESEEN CIRCUMSTANCES

If Jo Watts is unable to fulfil your booking on the day, due to sudden illness or severe weather, Jo Watts will always do their utmost to find a replacement stylist. If, however this is not possible, Jo Watts will refund the clients final invoice.
If anything were to happen beyond Jo Watts control, such as a pandemic like the COVID-19 outbreak and the wedding is unable to take place, Jo Watts feels its not safe to carry out the service, then Jo Watts will be happy to change the clients as a priority at no extra cost. If the clients then decides to cancel the booking without a reschedule date, then the original terms from section 3 will still apply.#
